I love so many things about spring: the warmer weather, sudden rainshowers, longer days. But most of all, I love it when all of the dormant flowers start to poke their heads above the soil. With two babies under three at home, I'm often pressed for time and unable to get away with my camera. It becomes a challenge to find new and interesting things to photograph in my everyday environment, but the flowers of spring never let me down.
I'm not much of a gardener myself, with the exception of one lone rose bush that practically takes care of itself, but I can always count on my mom to have plenty of gorgeous blooms around. These magnolia blooms are flowering on the tree in her front yard, next to a gorgeous smelling lilac and right in front of a goldfish pond surrounded by tulips and hyacinth. The kids and I are there often, nearly every day, so I'm always taking advantage of Mom's green thumb by capturing an image or twelve. Or forty.
It's amazing what you can find to photograph right in front of you when you keep your eyes open.
